Lentils are another good option if you suffer from moodiness. The complex carbohydrates boost serotonin which promotes a feeling of well-being and relaxation. Lentils are also rich in fiber, protein and the B vitamin, thiamin, good for energy and decreasing PMS symptoms.
Milk/Yogurt and Canned Salmon provide us with calcium and vitamin D which alleviate PMS symptoms. The omega-3 fatty acids in the salmon also help with mood swings and cramps. Oysters are another source of omega-3s and iron. Vegetarians can get omega-3x from avocado and flax seed. The uterus secretes prostaglandins and leukotrienes which causes the uterus to contract which in turn causes cramps. Omega-3s help our body to release less of these chemicals so we can have less cramping.
